Court-martial
A court-martial (plural courts-martial) is a military court that determines punishments for members of the military subject to military law. They are generally found in all countries with militaries to try members of the military for breaches of military discipline. In addition, they may be used to try enemy prisoners of war for war crimes, and the Geneva Conventions require that POWs who are on trial for war crimes be subject to the same procedures as would be the holding army's own soldiers.
